I noticed this on the Mounties site about their new HQ opening in Sept '08 "The climbing plaza will be around 3,000 square feet and consist of a climbing wall of roughly 34 feet in height and 90 feet in width. An open space will be included in the climbing plaza, bordered by more climbing, scrambling and hiking terrain for practice on slabs and hillsides. The climbing facility, as part of the lease formula, will be owned by the city and open to the public." Mountaineers Press Release April 2007 Interesting...

The Mountaineers are renovating one of the old Navy buildings in Magnusson Park to use as a new clubhouse. After renovation, the building will still be owned by the city but leased by the club.
As part of the renovation, the Mountaineers are building a climbing plaza on the south side of the building. This will include a climbing wall as well as a free standing boulder. The climbing structures are being built by EntrePrise. This too will be owned by the city. After completion, the Mountaineers will have first right to reserve the plaza, but it will be open to the public otherwise.

I don't think the bolt ladders will be open to the public. Neither will the indoor walls.

I had an opportunity to see the new structure they'll be putting in. Quite nice! It has cracks, chockstones, chimney's and a nice texture to it. Besides the climbing wall, there'll also be a boulder field (being put in right now).

Besides the climbing wall, there'll also be a boulder field (being put in right now). the only problem is that required clothing to use the gym includes shorts over polypro, gaiters and a helmut with your name duct-taped to the front.

I'm interested. The only chockstones to practice on at the gym are the fat guys who can't make it up the 5.6.
They get a little pissy when you use their ear as a mono pocket and climb through.

If they can hold a myriad of classes on this crag that should free up Classic Crack so RUMR can finally get his pinkpoint.
